The requested operation requires elevation (Run as administrator) python 3 - windows 10

I want to execute this command ("netsh wlan export profile folder=c:\ key=clear") in cmd via python 3 in windows 10 to get my wifi passwords so I create a script like that

import os
print(os.popen("netsh wlan export profile folder=c:\ key=clear").read())

but the code gives my this error The requested operation requires elevation (Run as administrator)

I want to make the script run as administrator

but I want to make it show a message From User Account Control that tells me

Do You Want To Allow This App To Make Changes To Your Device YES NO

but I want to do that Via Python Code

For one off runs set your bench to run as administrator. Say you use Pycharm. Then open Pycharm as administrator.

For other one offs make a shortcut to your command line and set the shortcut to use administrator.
